@GridLite Are you sure that guy was actually his son? At least, blood related? From what I've seen, it's absurdly rare for the MC to have a life and death conflict ine Chinese novels. After all, they push filial piety like crazy and having an unfilial child is viewed as a massive shame. Plus, they like to have some sort of "magical" relationship were you suddenly feel close to anyone blood related.
@MangaCollection the author didn't disclosed it fully so I'm gonna assume he is a kin since mc didn't at least mention(I don't remember shit lmao) a phrase "i treated you like a son"
Not like i remember this series, it's 2 months ago afterall lol
